The Woolly Mamas

It began with four nearly inseparable mamas, crochet hooks and wool in hand, babies at breast, and Organic food in our wooden pot-luck bowls. We have since scattered across the universe...but like all shining stars, our luminous beams reach out, connecting us here, on this page in space. Now, as we craft and mother in our new localities, new circles initiate... woolly satellites- the warmest, fuzziest spots in existence. The love is alive, and the crafts, recipes and wisdom keep on a-comin'!

The Woolly Mamas Mission

Who we are:

A circle of creative, progressive mothers who love wool, fiber-art and crafts, our children, each other, and Mother Earth!

What we do:

Gather to craft together, share nutritious food, nurture deep friendships, support one another as mothers, and inspire each other artistically.

Our mission:
Promote environmentally sustainable and community-building income earning opportunities for local mamas in ways that strengthen and nurture, rather than disrupt or negate the vitally important parent-child bond. By providing a physical and mental space where women can come together in defiance of urban and suburban isolation to raise children with the support of a community of women, while creating high quality, hand-crafted goods from organic and natural materials, we hope to:

Foster within our culture a value for the life-path of mothering.
Ensure that our children's needs are not sacrificed in the challenges of a changing economy.
Revive cottage industry and allow mothers to supplement or sustain their families income.
Promote the buying and selling of local, hand-made products.
Form uniquely bonded communities who pool skills, experience and advice in natural crafting and mothering, who impart to our children the importance of remaining bonded to one another and the Earth.
